Proverbs 30
1 THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKEH. The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal.
Zvirevo zvaAguri mwanakomana waJake, shoko rake: Murume uyu akati kuna Itieri, kuna Itieri nokuna Ukari:
2 Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.
“Ndini munhu asingazivi zvikuru kwazvo pakati pavanhu; handina kunzwisisa kwomunhu.
3 For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.
Handina kudzidza uchenjeri, uye handina ruzivo rwaiye Mutsvene.
4 Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
Ndiani akakwidza kudenga uye akazoburuka? Ndiani akabata mhepo mumaoko ake? Ndiani akasungirira mvura munguo yake? Ndiani akaisa migumo yose yenyika? Zita rake ndiani, uye nezita romwanakomana wake? Ndiudzei kana muchiriziva!
5 Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.
“Shoko rimwe nerimwe raMwari nderechokwadi; iye chidzitiro kuna avo vanovanda maari.
6 Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
Usawedzera kumashoko ake, kana kuti achakutsiura uye agokuratidza kuti uri murevi wenhema.
7 Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.
“Zvinhu zviviri zvandinokumbira kwamuri, imi Jehovha, musandirambira izvi ndisati ndafa:
8 Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,
Bvisai kusatendeka nenhema zvive kure neni; musandipa urombo kana pfuma, asi ndipei chete zvokudya zvemisi yose.
9 Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.
Zvichida, ndingava nezvakawanda kwazvo ndikasakukudzai, uye ndikazoti, ‘Jehovha ndianiko?’ Kana kuti zvimwe ndingava murombo ndikaba, uye ndikasaremekedza zita raMwari wangu.
10 Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.
“Usareva muranda kuna tenzi wake, nokuti achakutuka, uye uchazviripira izvozvo.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.
“Kuna avo vanotuka madzibaba avo uye vasingaropafadzi vanamai vavo;
12 There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.
vaya vanozviti vakachena pamaonero avo asi vasina kusukwa tsvina yavo;
13 There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.
vaya vane meso anozvikudza nguva dzose, vane matarisiro okushora;
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.
vaya vane meno anenge minondo nameno eshaya dzavo anenge mapanga kuti vaparadze varombo panyika, navanoshayiwa kubva pakati pavanhu.
15 The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.
“Chikwevaropa chine vanasikana vaviri. Vanodanidzira vachiti, ‘Tipei! Tipei!’ “Kune zvinhu zvitatu zvisingatongoguti, zvina zvisingamboti, ‘Zvaringana!’:
16 The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough. (Sheol h7585)
guva, chizvaro chisingabereki, pasi pasingaguti mvura, nomoto usingamboti, ‘Zvaringana!’ (Sheol h7585)
17 The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
“Ziso rinotuka baba, rinoshora kuteerera mai, richanongorwa namakunguo omumupata, richadyiwa namagora.
18 There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
“Pane zvinhu zvitatu zvinondishamisa kwazvo, zvina zvandisinganzwisisi, zvinoti:
19 The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
nzira yegondo riri mudenga, nenzira yenyoka paruware, nenzira yechikepe pagungwa, uye nzira yomurume ane musikana.
20 Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
“Iyi ndiyo nzira yomukadzi chifeve: Anodya agopukuta muromo wake uye agoti, ‘Hapana chinhu chakaipa chandaita ini.’
21 For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
“Nyika inodedera nokuda kwezvinhu zvitatu, zvinhu zvina zvaisingadi kuona:
22 For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
muranda anozova mambo, benzi rine zvokudya zvizhinji,
23 For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
mukadzi akaroorwa asi asingadiwi, nomurandakadzi anotorera vatenzi vake murume.
24 These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:
“Panyika pane zvinhu zvina zvidiki, asi zvakachenjera kwazvo:
25 The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
Masvosve zvipuka zvine simba duku asi anounganidza zvokudya zvawo muzhizha:
26 The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
mbira zvipuka zvisina simba guru, asi dzinoita imba yadzo mumatombo;
27 The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
mhashu hadzina mambo, asi dzinofamba pamwe chete mumapoka adzo;
28 The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
dzvinyu rinogona kubatwa namaoko, asi rinowanikwa mumizinda yamadzimambo.
29 There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
“Kune zvinhu zvitatu zvino kufamba kunokudzwa kwazvo, zvina zvino kufamba kunokudzwa kwazvo;
30 A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
shumba, ine simba pakati pezvikara, isingadududzi pamberi pechikara chipi zvacho;
31 A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
mafambiro okuzvikudza ejongwe, nenhongo yembudzi, uye namambo akakomberedzwa navarwi vake.
32 If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
“Kana uchinge waita upenzi nokuzvirumbidza pachako, kana kuti waronga zvakaipa, bata muromo wako noruoko rwako!
33 When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.
Nokuti somukaka warozva unobudisa ruomba, uye sokudzvinyirira mhino kunobudisa ropa, nokudaro kumutsa hasha kunobudisa kukakavara.”
